City of Leeds Club Philosophy
​
Our club philosophy is to build a culture of learning, professionalism, commitment, challenge and independence.
We champion a positive, respectful and hardworking attitude, the ability to work as a team and appreciate each team member, in order for each individual to become the best synchronised swimmer they can be.
We hope that this will not only help support all athletes in becoming the best synchronised swimmer they can be, but will also develop life skills that will serve them in their future lives beyond synchronised swimming.
